I wrote this piece for the ASN's Valentine exchange last February. My secret recipient was earth_lizard, who is known as a fervent Kataang shipper. I think "The Haunting of Ba Sing Se" turned out better, but this one still makes me laugh a little.
From Aang to Katara
AANG:
Upon my waking I was entranced, by the beauty in your face.
I knew at once, should dreams come true, at your side would be my place.
My dear Katara, I ask of you, to calm my troubled heart,
And promise me, from this day on, we shall never be apart.
KATARA:
Oh Aang, of course. I swear by this, the necklace from my mother-
I'll never leave, we share in love, you're my new younger brother!
AANG:
My love for you transcends this world, as only a Romance can.
We would live as but one person, you the wife and I the man.
Think not of me as cute and small, but desirable and strong.
I know this as I know my heart, there's no way I can be wrong.
KATARA:
Oh Aang, you must be mistaken. For love, you are too young as yet.
Besides, my heart has been given. I have set my mind on Jet!
AANG:
The world we travel is brutal, not all will live to see peace.
Before you are hurt beyond cure, from bad boys, your grip release.
Face the truth and stop holding back, it is your only path to bliss!
I know you'll realize you love me, if we share just one small kiss!
KATARA:
Such troubling times confuse me; from love, I should be shying.
I recall your analogy, a kiss from me and dying!
AANG:
That was in the past, and also wrong. I died for giving up love.
What restored me to life was you; I woke to your face above.
For sake of all I passed through Fire, and threw down the evil Lord.
Wise am I now and strength I have, to not make you my reward.
KATARA:
A prize you have earned, so I choose, your emergence at last done.
Together we will face this new age of love... forever one.
END
